My current favorite quote is courtesy of Arthur Ashe: "Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can." I'm a person who likes to look on the bright side of life. I'm friendly, curious, sincere. And very direct. I'm a Navy vet who served 8 years on active duty, and was in the early wave of women first stationed on ships (I served aboard two submarine tenders). I'm currently a government employee who works so that our web sites and applications are accessible to people with disabilities. I've been happily married for 28 years (no kids, spent many years doing elder care), and have 3 dogs and 2 cats.
